Gameplay Extras

In addition to the standard game, which takes the players through the storyline of the game, all Devil May Cry games have additional content which can be accessed from the main menu.

Bloody Palace
The Bloody Palace is a game mode separate from the storyline that has the player grind through enemies. It offers a change of scenery and lets the player amass Orbs outside of storyline missions.

Costumes
Upon fulfilling certain criteria, such as beating all the missions on a hard Difficulty Mode or finishing the Bloody Palace, the player can unlock different costumes for the characters. Sometimes these costumes even alter the gameplay, such as the "Super" costumes which allow for unlimited use of Devil Trigger, while other times they simply alter the look of the character.

Theater Mode
The theater allows the player to view all cutscenes without having to play through the missions again.

Library
The library consists of entries about various aspects of the game, from enemy files to information about combat maneuvers. They provide more in-depth explanations of items, enemies, and the like, which helps to flesh out the game universe in ways that cannot be accomplished during the missions.

Difficulty Modes
Upon completion of a lower difficulty, players unlock the option to play through the story again, but against tougher opponents. Because players are allowed to keep the Orbs, Items, and Category:Techniques they earned from the first play through, (with the exception of the Easy Mode in Devil May Cry,) this is very similar to a "New Game +" feature.
